Roadmap for Energy-Efficient Buildings and Construction in ASEAN Timelines and actions towards net zero-carbon buildings and construction INTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCY The IEA examines the full spectrum of energy issues including oil, gas and coal supply and demand, renewable energy technologies, electricity markets, energy efficiency, access to energy, demand side management and much more. Through its work, the IEA advocates policies that will enhance the reliability, affordability and sustainability of energy in its 31 member countries, 10 association countries and beyond.

In the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), buildings account for close to a quarter of the region’s total final energy consumption and energy-related CO2 emissions. With continued economic development, urbanisation and population growth across the region, the International Energy Agency’s (IEA) analysis shows that both final energy consumption and CO2 emissions in buildings will continue to grow without ambitious policy actions. Improving the energy efficiency of building envelopes and systems, increasing renewable energy utilisation, phasing out the use of traditional biomass and switching to clean cooking and electricity, while enhancing energy access for vulnerable households across the region, can result in more than a 60% reduction in CO2 emissions from buildings by 2040 in relation to 2020, and provide many other benefits to households, society and governments.

The Roadmap for Energy-Efficient Buildings and Construction in ASEAN focuses on the policy tools available for ASEAN Member States to drive energy efficiency improvements in the building sector to help meet growing needs for residential and non-residential floor space and energy services, while limiting the growth in energy demand and related emissions. It identifies key energy-efficient and lowcarbon actions and activities that governments could consider for implementation by 2025, 2030 and beyond, moving towards net zero-carbon buildings. Roadmap for Energy-Efficient Buildings and Construction in ASEAN Acknowledgements, contributors and credits Acknowledgements, contributors and credits The Roadmap for Energy-Efficient Buildings and Construction in ASEAN is part of a collaborative project between the International Energy Agency (IEA) and the ASEAN Member States (AMS) through the Energy Efficiency and Energy Conservation Sub-Sector Network (EE&C-SSN), the ASEAN Secretariat (ASEC) and the ASEAN Centre for Energy (ACE). The report builds on the work of the Global Alliance for Buildings and Construction (GlobalABC), International Energy Agency (IEA) and United Nations Environment Programme’s (UNEP) Regional Roadmap for Buildings and Construction in Asia (2020) and was prepared by the Energy Efficiency Division (EEFD) of the Directorate of Energy Markets and Security of the IEA with support from the Energy and Minerals Division of ASEC and Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency and Conservation Department of ACE. The work was made possible thanks to a dedicated contribution from the Australian Government through the ASEAN-Australia Development Cooperation Program Phase II (AADCPII). The development of the Roadmap was led by Maxine Jordan, Emily McQualter and Ksenia Petrichenko from the IEA, and Ian Hamilton from
